Fantastic video and your rights that’s a lot of welding you’ve done. good job you had your twin there helping you tac it up😂.fair play to you your a proper hard grafter and great and tricks skills aswell👍👍

Wow i feel old looking at the welding technology now. Im going to guess spray transfer? The beads are perfect. Good job!! You earned your money that day for sure. That helmet / filtration system tho!! Not to my liking but im old school. Ive worn similar and found them heavy and hot. Great video!! 👍
There's a Job Shop here. In Ohio where I live that have some fronius equipment. The only difference between yours and this is it set up in standard measurement. Not metric. I enjoy your content. Keep turning and burning. As they say over here.
Our QC always freaks when we tack stuff to pipe. Usually on big bore fittings. You and I are in totally different disciplines of welding. You would eat me alive in the shop lol.
Re the tacking bars to outside of pipes, if you can get away with it then why not. We just use old flanges bolted onto flanges if we need to roll something and balance it out. For holding things in place like those lengths you laid out, we use wedges instead. Is a shame they wont let us use mig for rolly's (client's choice, not our QA guys) looks so much easier and quicker. We use tig root (sometimes fleet root for bigger diameter carbon pipe) and 6013 fill/cap for slightly lower spec work (i hate the poxy things) but mainly 7016 lowHy rods (run them hot and they are as sweet as a nut, lovely and smooth. Clients such as EDF and others at Hinckley wont even entertain the idea of any sort of mig/mag welding, not even metalcore. The only thing theyll entertain other than tig and lowHy (only full tig on stainless despite some of it being 30mm wall thickness pipe😒🤯) is gsfcaw.
Dime a dozen. Every little shop Is pumping out columns and spools for super cheap these days. With the cost of material rising, it doesn’t help either. There’s no secret for the cost of these, if you’re in the business of fabrication. In short, super cheap, not making any money off of these columns. When you get into the 60 inch diameter pipe and fabrication, then you start to make some good money. I own a shop that has been constructing ASME pressure vessels since the 50s. From fabrication to machining, drill and tap, we do it all from beginning to end, coating as well. Grandpa started the business and now it’s in our hands. Keep on fabricating my friend!
I'm not sure if it's a requirement but stick is commonly used for pipe welding outdoors where wind could be an issue for shielding gas. In the workshop mig I would say is faster.
Hey, love watching your techniques for building, squaring and production-thinking! How much experience do you have with welding square tubing, steel plates and structures? Do you think there is any difference between having 4 or 8 tacks when preparing for welding, or is there no difference in distortion? Do you always use 4 tacks, or do you use more on big pipes like 200 or 300mm? What is also the reason why flanges have a loose fit on pipes instead of a tighter fit? What are the requirements for welding this stuff with push vs pull? What are also the pipes used for since you use wire with no flux? And if the feed was at the very end of the puddle, could you lower it to 200 amps? Not trying to be annoying, just a curious person here.
Alot of questions there mate 😅, so im a professional at pipe and average at structure but structure is usually multiple runs so its easier to lean structural then pipe, and 4 tacks are plenty even on 14" i just make them alittle longer, i could do more tacks but would just take more time and ive not had a flange warp yet. No clue why they fit so loose its worse the bigger the pipe is, i believe its one flange fits many size and thickness pipes, but i had to pass a xray test to weld this, hope i answered everything
The pipes are for low pressure water so this technique is perfectly fine even the push or pull technique, weld tube did a test and said it works fine both ways and im trying to be as powerful as i can for speed.
Except in Canada your not allowed to weld or have arc strikes anywhere outside your weld zone, that would be a cut out, why do that when you could just simply move the grou down from piece to piece no clean up or grinding after either...
He does that to set up his end flanges in the same orientation a little clean up after is a small price to pay for the time saved in fabrication no way is there a quicker way and speed is the name of the game for them 💵
I watch your videos multiple times and learn alot of teks and skill sets from you, I really appreciate what you do for the welding community. Did you move to a new shop? Or just another area that is better for your kick ass videos? I own a baby Fronius compared to the ones you run. I have the TransSteel 2200 MV MP w/ dual gas inputs for MIG & TIG. I have been in structural welding for 15 plus years and Miller and Lincoln are industry standards here in USA. I get really weird looks pulling up with that flashy Fronius Red and a 15' whip with the swivel ball..... people are confused by it instantly and intimidated!
Im in a new shop atm in Ireland, will be here a few more weeks and thanks dude ✊🏽, and a fronius is definitely a slight to behold, but you guys are definitely stuck in your ways over there with only stick and tig welding pipe
@@ARCONEWELDING Not so actually! I worked for a train manufacturer for 3 years mig'ing #40 1/8" wall pipe ranging 3/8"-2 1/4" for the braking system on each car/Trolley😉 using 100% Argon and MCAW .025 through a Lincoln, it was my first " big welding" job bc I learned how to weld mig on 22gauge galv sheet metal. I was literally told to roll my own 5ft×18" joints of pipe Tack 2 of them together, Weld out and then Flange each end, the owner left me by myself and came back 4 hours later, I had nothing completed a bunch of new scrap pieces, I was so pissed I left for 2 days before I came back. Thanks for the response back. Means alot bro. And Def need more DnB for your videos! I will hit you up on Instagram and share some really good tracks I love.
Don't let the cry babies get you down. Your videos are on point, theirs don't exist. It takes talent to do what you show for us. If they had any true talent they can always put their own stuff up.
You do you! Your paid by the weld, so its natural to streamline every process you do. But taching on the pipe in place of a clamp or improvised holder, is like using the beat-sync button instead of using your ear to beat match. Its cheating, but the codes you run under dont care. Plus, if it's not x-rayed, most companies butt and burn a no root weld anyway. I pipeline weld, and love watching your channel👨🏭👍
I hope your getting paid well,I know working in a fabrication shop is hard work. So your doing peice work there? I did that before, your every move becomes efficient 😃. Those feronis welders sounds powerful. Good work 😊
If you cut a piece of pipe that's the same diameter as the pipe your working on to the length of your recess (15 Mil in this case) you can eliminate having to mark each pipe. It is also reasonably close when you level it up after your first tack. Eliminates a step.
There's nothing efficient there... he'll spend more time cutting off and grinding down his tacks then he would have if he just move the ground from piece to piece...
I have 15 years behind the hood and on the trigger.... jigs, fixtures and Tack bars are used by the biggest 2 smallest manufacturers in the world for reasons, reduction in time, consistency, quality product production! Moving the ground from piece to piece is laziness and also shows a lack in skill and ability. I think you rock bro! Haterz make us famous and help pay us!
Pretty impressive welding and I guess from what your saying you are price work that one way to make your money quicker, maybe you should teach some of the welders I work with as u make even myself look like amateurs lol.
I know you mentioned you don't do the cuts for the pipe, but do you practice it at all so you know how to use the cutting equipment and it's something you know you can do? Or are the cutting machines not as unique and are the ones you see in any workshop :) Inspired by your videos, not only because you logically think about optimising your approach to the method similarly to myself but also because you're based in the UK (I'm in Northern Ireland).
